Yes they are failed statesmen. They couldn't stop a war and that is a failure imo. They failed the human race by their inability to convince Bush and those @70% that solving a problem with violence is unnacceptable.
They were all behind Bush a year and a half ago. After Sept 11th. Chirac, Shcroeder, and Chretien were all trusted allies willing to work hand in hand with the USA.
Thanks for the replys Ronn. You deserve a Weekly Wonder Award for your conviction and level-headedness. [img]smile.gif[/img]
